Performance issue define PoE

PoE is not poorly optimized, GGG has just given almost no ceiling to how much attack/speed and pack size you can stack in a single map instance. The excess loot in top tier juiced maps will also cut fps in half or worse.


Any game where you spawn 200 mobs in a single screen and splatter them in a half a single is going to crush your desktop.

you pretty much described what "poor optimization" means... if game cant run alot of packs without issues then it shouldnt.

I play gta5 on ultra but on poe my pc suffering......

Cant complain when you have experienced beta poe performance lol. Run 3 screens and be teleported back. People tend to ignore how many performance improvements we have seen over the years.

Reduction in skill effects and mob density is the solution.

"It's not as bad as it used to be! Be grateful!" Is not an acceptable excuse, ever.

Its a homegrown engine that just sucks. Thats the true gist of it. I dont see any reason to make excuses for them. You can make excuses when they are some upstart indie studio, but that ship sailed a long time ago; just like Riot Games.

Im just pointing out that the game runs better than it has ever been. Im grateful that it is and would not still be playing if they didnt make regular performance improvements. Learn what game engines are and how ditching their current one wont improve anything and set them back many years. Upgrading/rewriting parts of their current one makes much more sense. What engine didnt start "homegrown"?

It's no secret that PoE just doesn't run efficiently. It's been an ongoing problem every league. There's been a million threads about it. Before delirium, the devs said the fog wouldn't cause performance issues because it's running on the PoE 2 engine. Well, the evidence and in, and it's not good. Either the devs were gas lighting the community or their ability to make it run smoothly isn't able to keep up with their creative vision. This is the worst performing game I've ever played, and it's not even close. My system runs every other game without any issues, including other ARPG's, but PoE has 0 fps lag spikes, crashes, stutters, etc. on minimum settings. It's unplayable. So which do you think it is, impotence or apathy?

Allow me to dissect this and translate it into what you are really trying to say.

"This is the worst preforming game I've ever played"
- I dont play a lot of games, I own a toaster, and this game requires too much resources for my toaster to run it well.

"My system runs every other games without any issues"
- My toaster runs games from 20 years ago just fine, but it has a problem with a newer game like POE!

"Its un-playable"
- I cannot afford a better toaster therefor the game is bad and unplayable!

Look, does the game have performance issues? Sure it does. But, I have not noticed any serious issues with performance on my systems' end unless I have a mob pack density so stupidly high the rendering cannot keep up with the mob generation/processing. Which is rare. I think there are some pretty glaring back-end issues seeing as they cant keep the servers stable for any solid period of time, but as far as how much it taxes your machine? Most people dont have issues with this. Now, if you want to see a poorly optimized game, go play Ark, and then tell me this is the worst performing game youve ever played...

With the amount of microtransactions that is in the game i kinda agree that poe should have had either: no perf issues, d3 -> wolcen grade graphics.

It kinda never did for years so it shows how they spent close to nothing of the cash earned on optimizations. Only lately it appeared that graphic tech guy that is doing some real work and it shows with the more recent particles, ground effects, water etc

They upgraded the visual for slam skills. Yeah, those skill that has many visual at once.

Clusterfuck.....

Crashed 3 times consecutively in sim the day before because of how much shit is on screen and effects. In fact, I have to reduce all setting to low in hope it didn't crash anymore.

GTX1070.

At this rate, poe2 will be Crash-o'de Crash.
